RadioIndy Review of your "Heavenly bound and No Earthly Good" CD
html version of review

Ken Morris “Heavenly bound and No Earthly Good” is a powerful assembly of Americana/roots rock tunes. Many of these songs carry very strong social and ethical messages, such as “Clean Up Your Own Backyard” which tackles the issue of hypocrisy. Moreover, this record contains some passionate love songs like “I’ll Never Give You Away”, which stands out as a compelling ballad and outstanding musical composition. Ken successfully transfers his high energy and vibrant personality to the listener in the form of passionate and effectively raspy vocals. To top things off, the production of “Heavenly Bound” is nothing short of outstanding. This collection is sure to leave a lasting impression on anyone who enjoys great roots rock tunes with messages that touch the heart.

Bio

Ken Morris Bio
Ken Morris is an original recording artist, songwriter, musician and electrifying entertainer. He began in the Rock clubs of New York City, performing in Max’s Kansas City, The Peppermint Lounge, Kenny’s CastAways’s, CBGB’s and other legendary clubs.
Ken has had many legendary musicians perform in his back up bands throughout the years, including Steve Marriot from Humble Pie, Lester Chambers from the Chamber’s brothers, (who also guest’s on his new album, “Heavenly Bound and No Earthly Good”), Corky Lange, (drummer for Mountain), with Lesley West, amongst others. Ken has toured the western world and islands., and looks forward to bringing his music to Asia. He had the distinct privilege of performing for the Royal family of Sweden, in their Stockholm Castle, on his visits there.
At the age of 22, Ken was closing a show for the famed Billy Preston, when a New York management team caught his performance, and three months later, was headlining in Las Vegas with a show he wrote, arranged and produced, and was given his first recording contract.
Shortly after winning his class in the IFBB Mr. USA in bodybuilding, (he also holds high degrees as a black belt in four styles of martial arts), he met Rod Stewart through his friendship, with then, manager of Elton John. Ken was a guest at Rod’s Madison Square Garden performance that night and shortly after, he decided to make his hobby of writing music as a serious profession. His only goal at the time was to win the Mr. America and open a gym/karate studio. After Rod heard him play some of his songs in the hotel room after the show, Rod encouraged Ken to pursue a career in music.” He gave me some great advice. He said, “Recruit the best musicians possible, sing with all your heart, and try to stay on key. He also said, “Don’t hire musicians....hire personalities that can play well.” Ken has followed that advice ever since and it has served him well.
Having lived for most his life between Los Angeles, New York and London and Florida. Ken now resides in Daytona Beach, Fl. Ken’s company, Manitou Music Productions, LLC, also writes and produces other artists for other labels.
Ken was influenced by Rock n' Roll artists like the Stones, Zep, Rod, The Kinks, Humble Pie, INXS,and country staples like the writing of Kris Kristofferson and Jim Croce, Tom Waits, and many more.
